    Okay...For my next AAR, I think screenshots would definitely supplement the action. Too bad, my CoH and WiC are on the other computer, now literally dying a slow death (it takes 10 minutes after I press the on button to open up the actual initial screen, then another 5 minutes to get to the account choices, and then 5 mins to load up my account. At any point in this period there is a high risk of crashing, especially if it has been used in the last 24 hrs.)

    Anyways...back to the point. So. Screenshots. Besides copying and pasting, which doesn't work, I know I can insert a saved image (sometimes works). But...what folder are the shots in? I have a vista. and what are the benefits of using the photo upload sites things?​

    go to Fraps.com and download teh trial version. It doesnt run out, and much easier to deal with, It saves the images in whatever folder you specify.

    Just a side note you will not get the full version. You will not be able to save screen shots as Jpegs which are more computer friendly, as I recall and I may be wrong you can only save them as BMP or PNG format which take time to download from any image hosting site to a forum.

    My advice is to buy the full version as I did. Cost was about $12 and you get free upgrades as well.

    I use full version too. *.bmp are not bad and you can easily convert into a *.jpg using a program like GIMP, Paint, or Photoshop
